Thanks Bryan (and Peerlesser

What you're effectively doing is adjusting the phase and avoid cancellations. If you've got it relatively flat, leave it. The phase police won't come get you
Yeah, I know, but...but it
really bugs me that the setting is incorrect. If I'm honest, I have to admit that I'm seriously considering going through the whole excersise again just to obtain settings that are correct.
...I'd certainly lay down some tape and write everything down where it is now.
I cannot tell you how annoyed with myself I was when Yamaha's YPAO wiped out the (incorrect) distance setting that I'd unknowingly been using to arrive at an optimal speaker placement. I'd known YPAO would overwrite the levels and distances etc, but it hadn't 'clicked' that I needed to take a note of the current (incorrect) distance settings prior to running YPAO (I wasn't bothered about the levels since after YPAO was finished I planned on manually resetting those to the values I'd recorded).
In the end I was, after leaving the subs in-situ and incrementing the distance setting, able (virtually) to return to the frequency response I'd originally obtained manually and in doing so note the (incorrect) distances that must have existed prior to being overwritten by YPAO, but me being me, it doesn't sit well that the setting is wrong, even though the sound is fabulous at present.
What you're effectively doing is adjusting the phase and avoid cancellations.
After things had gone haywire, I figured this out.
I've a question for you though; is it theoretically possible that re-trialling positions with the correct distance setting may
not lead to as good a (low) frequequency response as the existing positions with an incorrect distance setting?
